Monday, December 22, 2025Looking Back, Looking Forward

Key Verse: Lamentations 3:22–23 — “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed… great is your faithfulness.”

As the year closes, pause to reflect: Where have you seen God’s hand in 2025? What prayers did He answer? What grace carried you through?

Reflection helps us enter the new year with gratitude instead of regret, and hope instead of fear. God’s mercies are new every morning—including January 1.

3 End-of-Year Practices:

1. Write a gratitude list for 2025.

2. Pray over your hopes for 2026.

3. Choose one “word of faith” to carry into the new year.

Prayer: Faithful God, thank You for carrying me through this year. As I step into 2026, I trust Your mercy will lead me again. Amen.
